Why Do Most Courses, Methods, and Indicators fail?

I don't care what method you are trading, the proper indicators are nothing without the proper application.

Most traders get the fundamental idea of trading wrong.  They focus on the indicators rather than WHERE, WHEN, and HOW to apply them.  The Synergy4Trading course was created to consolidate all the relevant information needed to become a profitable trader into one concise package. 

Most indicators and systems sold on the internet sell their indicators as the primary product.  Their customers get bamboozled by fancy colors, lines, and cherry picked setups illustrated on their website.  After the purchase customers head off in their indicator-induced daze to the slaughter house day after day until they give up and find another product to repeat the exact same sequence over again and again.  Not here.  At S4T, our primary offering is not our proprietary indicator, but all the information provided in our course you WILL need to succeed.

I've been around the block when it comes to methods and systems sold on the internet.  Yet after purchasing many over the years I was never able to make consistent money with any of them.  Why?  Nearly every system, method, or indicator approach sold on the internet today has one or more of the following faults:

• Ambiguous interpretation or "feel" of signals rather than a set criteria
• No cross application to ANY market and timeframe
• No Risk to Reward in the entries and exits
• Method worked in trending markets OR range bound markets - NOT BOTH

Ambiguous interpretation or "feel" of signals rather than a set criteria:

I hate not knowing if I should be in or out of a market.  Whether the trade worked or didn't I NEED to know if it was in fact a trade or if it wasn't.  If a method can't tell me without any shadow of a doubt that YES there was a signal there or NO there wasn't its no good to me.  Too many offer cop outs followed by the "you could be in from there, or here, or maybe you didn't take it" after the fact.  Some simply couldn't be traded without years of developing a "feel" for the market to know when a setup was valid and when it wasn't.  Ambiguity kills new traders.  Rule sets and criteria establish the foundation of consistent trading needed to succeed.

No cross application to ANY market and timeframe:

Back in 2004-2006 the E-Mini's dried up into a daytraders nightmare as the VIX dropped to historic lows.  Many traders who were used to 50 point intraday ranges were lucky to get 5 points on an average day.  Most traders blew out accounts as their methods fell apart in the changing environment.  Some tried to cross apply their approaches to the increasing volatility in the Forex markets with even more disastrous results.  Markets change.  What is the point of learning a system that works great this year on one market but falls apart next year?  Are your bills going to stop coming?  No.  A true method can be applied anywhere on anything. 

Be aware of methods that "use a 1.5 point stop" or similar approaches to stop management.  A 1.5 point stop in the S&P isn't the same as a 1.5 point stop in the NQ.  God knows what you are supposed to do if you decide to trade Forex and there isn't a point system or worse if the volatility in the market increases to a point where a 1.5 point stop is nothing more than noise and gets eaten up in a matter of seconds.  Those methods aren't robust enough to apply to another market and should be avoided at all costs.

No Risk to Reward in the entries and exits:

Then you had the systems that gave exact entry and exit criteria but used 1:1 risk to reward or LESS if they even mentioned the concept at all.  Any method MUST use proper risk to reward parameters to remain consistently profitable in the long run.  Getting more out of a winning trade than you were risking to enter the trade is the warm fuzzy blanket that allows you to sleep well at night knowing you can take two or three losing trades and erase them all with one good winning trade.  Most methods don't emphasize this fact at all or they don't have you enter into trades at the places on a chart where small risk and large reward are even possible.  Our S4T approach ONLY looks at the specific areas where your lowest risk and highest reward outcomes are possible.

Method worked in trending markets OR range bound markets - NOT BOTH:

However, the biggest problem by far with nearly every system and method i've tried is that it would work great in a trending environment and get chopped to pieces in consolidation or vice versa.  Most system providers cop out with a "identify the type of day" before trying to trade explanation.  Give me a break.  I've seen days that barely moved the tape for the first 4 hours only to go spastic into the close or huge trends off the open that stall out and coil into oblivion for the rest of the day.  The truth is anything is possible at anytime in the market and you don't know what's going to be happening two seconds from now.  To somehow suggest that you can wait the first X amount of a day and predict with any degree of accuracy that the rest of the day will somehow follow suit is the biggest crock out there.  Most systems fail to even mention this foible to their customers.

What does the Synergy4Trading Trading Course offer?

The S4T method addresses all of the above issues.  You know where the potential trade zones are on the chart long before you have setups and there is an EXACT criteria that will automatically be applied via our Synergy Indicator.  Whether you are trading a Daily AAPL chart, a 5 minute ES, or a 144 tick of the EURUSD the S4T method can be cross applied to any timeframe and market.  Every setup attempts to provide the lowest risk amount possible and the highest amount of reward.  Each trade targets a MINIMUM of 2X the risk.  And best yet?  It was specifically designed to work equally well on both range bound and trending markets.

Syngery4Trading Education Course Features:

• Instant Access
• Lifetime Membership - NO MONTHLY FEES
• Synergy Indicator INCLUDED
• 5+ Hours of instructional content in HD

• Access to a Continually Growing Collection of Weekly Members-Only Trade Videos

Instant Access:

After purchasing our educational course you will be provided instant access to the members area of Synergy4Trading.

Lifetime Membership - NO MONTHLY FEES:

The new wave hitting the trading educational community is the idea of charging weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly fees to gain access to information.  Seriously?  *cough* SCAM *cough*  I don't know about you but I think its highway robbery and a blatant attempt to gain residual non-trading income in their bank accounts rather than provide their customers with the ability to get initial access for cheaper.  I'm a trader first and foremost - I make 95% of my income from my trading activities and don't need your monthly fees for residual income.  If I sucked at trading and couldn't make money each week at it you can bet i'd be charging 299.99/mo.  Ask yourself why they need to charge you money each month for their great method?

Synergy Indicator INCLUDED:

When you purchase our educational course you also get a TradeStation, MultiCharts, or NinjaTrader version of our proprietary Synergy indicator included FREE with your purchase.  Initially my plan was to sell the S4T course and indicator separately in the hopes of charging a bit more money by having two products rather than one.  But what I realized as I developed this website was that by doing so I was either going to be educating people about proper application without the tools to get them into the trades or i'd be giving them tools to get in the trades without the proper application.  Either way i'd be setting customers up for failure and myself for unhappy reviews littered across the internet.  So I decided to offer everything as a complete package.

5+ Hours of instructional content in HD:

The entire collection of instructional trading videos is presented in HD.  I was so sick of finding content on educational sites that were hosted on YouTube or other hosting providers to cut bandwidth costs but at the same time gave a horrible picture and learning experience.  All of our content is recorded in 1280 X 720 and encoded in the best possible formats to ensure crystal clear clarity while keeping file sizes to a minimum.

Members Trade Chat Room:

Our package also includes unlimited 24/7 access to our Trade Chat Room.  One of the biggest problem amongst traders when they are starting out is lack of focus during the day or an outlet to get answers to their questions.  So I created a Trade Chat Room to give our members a place to discuss trade setups during the day and a place to hang out and converse with like minded individuals.  I'm in there almost daily posting up trades i'm taking and answering questions.  While this is NOT a "trade-along" service it can serve as a great resource to see what others are looking at and applying the method to each day.  No matter where you are in the world the Chat Room will always be open and available for you so whether you are trading Forex at 2AM or the E-Mini's and 2PM there is a good chance you'll find someone doing the same thing.

Access to a Continually Growing Collection of Weekly Members-Only Trade Videos:

Each week will provide new Members-Only video content discussing any number of topics.  One week may cover recent trades from that week, another answering questions that came up from members in emails or the chat room during that week.  It is continually updated and recent information to aid you on your path to success!

Don't kid yourself, this is a JOB!

If you think this approach will be as easy as installing some software onto your trading platform looking for little dots to appear, clicking in orders, and then buying your Lamborghini in a week I have news for you.  Trading is one of the most demanding and hardest professions in the world for a reason.  If it was easy everyone would be doing it and we all know everyone is not.  I want you to come into this course with reasonable and realistic expectations about what S4T can offer you.  This isn't a get rich quick scheme!  It will require you to put in time and effort both going over charts in hindsight practicing and spotting previous entries and your undivided attention while you are trading in real time. 

I have tried to make this method as simple and straight forward as possible.  However, that doesn't mean that its possible to remove some degree of subjectivity and discretion from your trading.  If there were no discretion required I would hard code this up into an automated strategy and let it run without my input and go on a permanent vacation.  The educational content covers the aspects of discretion in depth, both in general terms and in specific instances using this method.  You will learn how to use discretion to your advantage to improve your results but I want you to understand that discretion is a part of trading, and one that cannot be fully removed.  You need to understand that this method isn't a "Buy Today, Retire Tomorrow" opportunity.  Sign up if you're willing to LEARN and put in the time and effort.  I can show you the way, but you have to walk it!
